This is the mock up I did on the painter. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=41624][/url][/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I think you need to dull down the metal, tbh. Perhaps Wash it black or maybe even leviathan purple, seeing as your trims are pink it may help tie it in. If you want to keep it bright, do this then highlight mithril silver, it will add some real depth and you keep the brightness. Other than that, a good job. you have quite a steady hand to get all those details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother RedAxe Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 The problem I am having is the chainmail, bolt gun and mithril silver are all coming out the same despite mixing various amounts of black wit the chain mail and white with the mithril. Even tried washing with delvan mud and a black wash none seemed to dull the metallic so I could get a good blend. I have never reall used this much metallic on a fig before so I am having trouble. The armor trim is actually warlock purple not black. I am gonna try to fix te pics in photo shop, hopefully for a better result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Have you tried washing the silver parts over with a black ink wash to really dull the silver down. Then, take small amounts of Chainmail onto a stiff dry brush, brush most of it off onto a paper towel or what have you, then lightly dry brush the larger surface areas and towards the middle to bring out the silver again, but in a dull manner ? I really like the computer concept art, but I can't see your model having very soft and light Mauve trimmings, only a very dark deep purple? I was hoping to see the light mauve, it looks very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornelias Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 try drybrushing your silver on rather than painting, should give better results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother RedAxe Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ran the test paint on my dreadnought. Look alot better. There is a story for it. I got this dread listed as misc bits off ebay, they were badly damaged, being metal, and had everything but the power supply plate and one foot. It looked like an old space wolf dread. I cleaned it up as best I could replaced the unsalavgeable CCW and built the power supply from vehicle upgrade bits. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...i&img=42732] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Lysander Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I like the lord's axe conversion. What did you use for the gore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother RedAxe Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 It is blood red very lightly dry brushed mithril silver. The axe is the one that comes with the chaos termie lord. I am just using it till I can completly plan what I am really going to use for him. I really wanted to start playing chaos so I through together a lord for the purpose of just playing then later making it a champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
